100 years of customer service
AGF Seguros was founded in Rio de Janeiro on November 26, 1904 as "Companhia de Seguros Terrestres e Marítimos Brasil". In 1929, the French insurance group AGF acquired a majority stake in the company and moved it to Sao Paulo, Brazil's financial and economic center.
When the workers' compensation line was nationalized in 1966, the company began exploring new segments such as governmental assets and industrial risk insurance. By the 1970s, AGF Seguros was one of the country's largest insurers.
In 1998, when AGF joined forces with Allianz, AGF Seguros became a member of the Allianz Group.
